Everything about this hotel ended up quite a bit off the expectation from a 5* hotel and the price tag. We had a luxury suit with two bedrooms, which on its own, despite a touch tacky and sparkly design was comfortable enough. Without sea view and being at the bottom level felt like we upgraded ourselves to a basement. A conversation with a passive aggressive receptionist was quite awkward as she insisted the only way to upgrade was to pay 3 x the price I could see in the booking app.
Breakfasts are of very low quality. Everything is there… but from sweaty cheese to the mass reminiscing scramble eggs is not something you’d like to eat. Coffee from the two machines was the only awful coffee I had in Croatia. Here’s a but though - the staff really try to keep it up. One of the staff looked at the scramble eggs tray and right away offered us fresh portions. They were very good. I also asked the bar lady if I could beg for some good coffee and she produced spectacular cappuccinos, which lifted the mood.
Evening buffet was good… not memorable by any means, but edible with decent selection. Staff, again, were very good.
The indoors pool was a strange experience. It’s the only pool allowing children under 16. It’s small at about 5-6 m radius but quite deep at 1.4m. It’s mobbed and the water is like an old soup. Our boys walked away with sore tummy’s and one ear infection.
The gym was ok with a wide enough choice of machines and dumbbells to do a holiday workout.
